Abstract: Titanates of zinc and/or alkaline earth metals are produced by simultaneously adding to a suspension of finely divided TiO.sub.2, maintained at a substantially constant pH above about 8, a solution of a salt of zinc and/or alkaline earth metal and alkali to form a hydroxide precipitate. Filtration produces a filter cake mixture of TiO.sub.2 and hydroxide and calcination at above 500.degree. C. produces the desired titanate of narrow particle size distribution and desirable optical properties. Non-simultaneous addition results in a non-filterable material. Zinc, magnesium and/or calcium are preferred and doping elements such as aluminum, phosphorus, boron and/or silicon may also be present.

Abstract: Water-soluble polyamines which (a) have an average molecular weight of above 1,000, (b) contain at least one grouping of the formula-- R -- Zin whichZ denotes a --COOH or --SO.sub.

Abstract: Anionic sizes for paper or a paper-like material. Substantially equimolecular copolymers of maleic acid anhydride and diisobutylene are esterified to form the corresponding semi-esters. From 10 to 100 mol-% of the anhydride groups are reacted with an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohol. At least 50 mol-% of the formed carboxylic groups are neutralized with alkali, ammonia or aliphatic amines.

Abstract: An improved process for the production of a substantially equimolecular copolymer of maleic acid anhydride and diisobutylene in which from 10 to 100 mole % of the anhydride groups are esterified with linear or branched aliphatic monoalcohols containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms or with cycloaliphatic monoalcohols containing from 5 to 6 carbon atoms to form the corresponding semiesters, wherein shortly before or after the end of the solution or suspension copolymerization of maleic acid anhydride and diisobutylene a monomer corresponding to the general formula ##STR1## in which R=H, CH.sub.3, C.sub.2 H.sub.5, --OR.sub.2, --O--CO--CH.sub.3, ##STR2## --CH.sub.2 OH, --CH.sub.2 O--C--CH.sub.3, R.sub.1 =H , CH.sub.3 andR.sub.2 =a linear or branched alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms,Or mixtures of these monomers with one another are added to the polymerization mixture in quantities of from 1 to 12 mole %, based on the maleic acid anhydride used.

Abstract: A sample injection device for gas chromatography with a heated evaporation chamber and an adjoining split chamber for splitting the flow, in which carrier gas is introduced into the evaporation chamber and into the split chamber through respective valves. Up until the evaporation of the sample, carrier gas is conducted only into the split chamber and after evaporation, only into the evaporation chamber giving a chromatography process using capillary columns which operates with very small amounts of sample.

Abstract: Stable aqueous emulsions comprising a resinic acid isocyanate, a non-ionic and/or anionic emulsifier and an optionally chlorinated hydrocarbon are used as sizing agents for paper or paper-like materials.

Abstract: An improved process for the production of powders of maleic acid anhydride/1-olefin copolymers by suspension polymerization in the presence of special dispersion agents which are obtained by the reaction of a copolymer of maleic acid anhydride and a 1-olefin with an aliphatic monohydric alcohol or an aliphatic monoamine or a mixture thereof, at least 30 mol % of the anhydride groups being esterified to semi-esters or amidated to semi-amides. The copolymer powders obtained have a surprisingly narrowparticle size distribution and can be used without grinding or sifting as reactive fillers for natural and synthetic rubbers. They also can be used for the production of paper coating agents as they dissolve easily and without residue in alkalis, ammonia or amines.

Abstract: Stable non-aqueous dispersion of water-soluble polymers of extremely high molecular weight coupled with relatively low viscosity and rapid dilutability with water to form a polymer solution are obtained by polymerization of at least one water-soluble .alpha.,.beta.-monoolefinically unsaturated monomer such as acrylamide and dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate in water-in-oil emulsion with the aid of at least one photo-initiator and UV-light, and azeotropical distillation from water, before or after the addition of a water-soluble wetting agent, to a residual water content of less than 5% by weight, based on polymer. The dispersions are eminently suitable for the preparation of aqueous solution, as retention agents for fillers and water-removal accelerators in the production of paper.

Abstract: Improved anionic sizes of alkali metal or ammonium salts of copolymers of 0.5- 50% by weight of an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic half ester of .alpha.,.beta.-monoolefinisch unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, 6-40% by weight of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid and 40-85% by weight of an aromatic monovinyl compound such as styrene.
